Book
The Tsimshian : images of the past, views for the present / edited by Margaret Seguin.
"In 1979 a group of scholars specializing in Tsimshian studies and members of the Tsimshian community gathered in the coastal village of Hartley Bay, British Columbia, to share insights on Tsimshian culture and history. This volume, a result of that conference, examines Tsimshian culture from the prehistoric period to the recent past, and includes contributions from such diverse perspectives as archaeology, linguistics, and social anthropology. The contributors demonstrate a balance between current fieldwork and careful archival analysis, as they build upon the scholarly legacy of such major figures as Boas, Barbeau, Tate, and Garfield. The book moves beyond earlier studies in pre- senting interpretations of previously described aspects of culture, including the crest system that is shared with other northwest groups and the participation of the Tsimshian in the "non-native" economy of the region. There is also much original material on such subjects as Tsimshian shamanism, basketry, masking, and feasting."-- from publisher.
